Barion Brown, Chase Young Among 3 Winners and 2 Losers in Saints' Loss to Steelers
New Orleans got a rookie spark and three sacks from its edge rushers at Stade de France, but 18 rushing yards and a missed field goal sent the Saints home 2-5. New Orleans Saints lost 16-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their first regular-season NFL game. The Saints fell to 2-5 one week after a comeback win over the Giants. Rookie players such as Barion Brown, Chase Young, and Carl Granderson were among three winners and losers in the game. Tyler Shough completed 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards, but Payton Wilson picked him off at the Pittsburgh 11. Despite this, the Saints never regained control of the ball after a defensive offside penalty extended Pittsburgh's final drive. The game was played in Paris for the first time and marked the first regular season game in France.
